A word about customs: I get asked about this a lot and I don't do them often for many reasons. Some are requests that I just won't fulfill. I don't do porn or anything that crosses into that genre. It's just not my style. Erotica and light fetish, sure. XXX, no. I adore fantasy. But I keep "reality" off the net. ;)
Customs are generally not cheap...because they're CUSTOM. Just like we wouldn't expect an outfit made to our specifications to be the same price as something we find off the rack.
Secondly, I don't think most people ordering understand everything that goes into making a custom video, even if it's only a few minutes. There's more factored in besides the time on film. Travel, how long it takes to get ready (and some customers ask A LOT. They want specific nail polish color, outfits, hair styles, makeup and elaborate costuming), costs involved (we have to pay others to work with us...model/wrestlers, camera person, ring rental or mat time)...and the fact that anything released to someone else may live in perpetuity online, be traded/posted and is now out of our hands. Unfortunately, some do this. Not all, but it happens. So, there's more to it than most know.
I just had a custom shoot that was a 4 hour round trip for me. In addition to the time there, it was an entire day. It was a great shoot with great ladies and totally worth while, but it involved getting a pet sitter, planning the day before and not getting ANY of my regular work done for a day and a half.
Some ask for models who are across the country or in other states. Unless they're coming to Tampa Bay, travel for myself or them to/from those areas would be part of the cost.
Some girls do customs all the time. They're more about quantity rather than quality. They specifically earn their income from this and only this. They charge less because they're not as in demand and don't have other work to contend with. They travel, plan shoots non stop, live in an area where other models are nearby...don't care if they get COVID or take it home to their families. (That's been another issue that's slowed shoots to a near halt this year...most companies just stopped shooting or only used a small, steady group of regulars.) That's good on them...when I first started out and no one knew who I was, I worked my ass off, too. I regret some of that now, as much of that stuff is still online and I was barely paid for it, but it's still costing me money.

I enjoy the fantasy aspect of making the videos...they're fun. Working with the other women is totally fun. But time is money and time is our most valuable asset. You can NEVER get it back. And I will never compromise in that area. That's why I'm posting this. Too many are asking me to and it's draining to constantly explain or say no.
If you want a Playboy/Maxim model, professional wrestler and known cosplayer to do a custom for you...awesome. But it's likely not going to cost the same as it is the girl who is just starting out. And if porn has never been my route in life, it's not going to be now.
Thank you for understanding. Some of you are super cool and amazing and I've been enjoying getting to know you more through our chats and convos on here. I do appreciate everyone on this page. I'm told that OF may be facing some issues soon with a freeze due to a lawsuit. I don't know if this is true or bullshit, but I'll continue to post either way. If something happens, I'm very active on my Patreon.com/AprilHunter page. Xo.
